ADDITIONAL PROOFS.
Additional Testimony Obtained of the
Slave Trade.


Slave Trade.
With the aid of the boxful of Chinese
documents found in the possession of Fong
Chun Shee, the Celestial agent of the slave
brokers, Deputy Collector Scott is slowly
gathering large quantity of valuable evil
dence showing beyond any doubt that fe-
males have been imported for immoral pur-
poses by ring located in this city, which
hopes to land its chattels through the
agency of the Courts.
OF the forty women who arrived on the
18th inst. by the Belgic, twenty-five are
supposed to be in charge of Fong Chun
Shee. Yesterday two more statements
were obtained from girls who were also in
charge of the old bag. The apparent slow
ness with which developments are being
made is due 10 the fact that but one inter-
prefer is engaged in translating the cap
tured documents.
The same process was adopted in the ex-
animation OF these two women that was so
successfully worked in the other cases.
Jung All Yung was first examined. and
repeated in a mechanical way the story that
had been taught her. She claimed to be %
years old, was a seamstress, and had for
merly resided with Chung Wah e Co, on
Dupont street, near Washington. She first
arrived in the United States on November
6, 1877, and departed November %, 1881, on
the Rio. Although she resided in this
country four years she could not speak
English. 1t was her intention to live in
this city with Kong On q Co., on Dupont
street.
Continuing she said 81 do not know
the number. l do not know who bought
my ticket to China. l was married in
China in 1888. The year after l was mar
ried my husband, Lee You, returned to San
Francisco"
She was shown the statement and her
photograph. and finally broke down, max
ing this confession: II never was in this
country (America) before. | was never
married. l can read and write. / do not
want to land in San Francisco, as | know
would have to lead dissoute life. | want
to go back to China, where my parents are
Ny right name is Lou Don Tai
When Interpreter Kipp began taking
Wong Chow Pings statement he was as
tOnished to find that the woman was tell
ing the truth, and was at a loss to account
for the singular case. From the start she
denied that she had ever been in the United
States. and did not want to stop in San
Francisco.
The following is the story she told the
customs officer: My right name is Kong
Hon Yock. l am 16 years old. THE cap
tured statement makes her % years old !
L never was married. My father and
mother are in China. My home is at Ho
Nun. close TO Hongkong. l don't want to
land in San Francisco. want to go back
there. My mother sold me for 500 will
not tell the mans name that bought me. |
don't know his name. My brothe-, Kong
All Son, aged II, died. and that is the reason
why my mother sold me-"
These two girls were Immediately sepa-
rated from the remaining twenty, and will
be returned to China. AS fast as possible
the others will be examined, and each one
is expected to confess her purchase in China
and prior non-residence in this country.
The United States District Grand jury
was yesterday engaged in considering the
